==Structure and Function of the Gingiva==
   −
Gingiva is mucosal tissue over [[Enamel Organ#Alveolar Bone|alveolar bone]]. It has a stratified squamous epithelium, with some keratinisation. It resists friction of food during [[Mastication|mastication]] by being tightly bound to the underlying bone. It recedes with age, exposing the cervical part of the tooth. It is usually salmon pink in healthy animals. A colour change indicates pathology.
